Mad max would be very proud

yep if mad max had a bike this would be it. i love the danger factor about it

[fartknocker]

hmmmmmm

SAFETY FIRST...because it would be a terrible thing to poke someone's eye out with an unprotected bar end
Not sure if this is an original idea, but I saw these corks at the hardware store when I was looking for nuts and bolts. Thought these would make a nice unique touch.

What, you didn't get the official Rivendell cork bar ends?

[karfer67]

now you need to find two old wine bottle popers take the nasty cork screws out and thread them from the inside out so the points stick out. mad max would do it

Seems to me the grip collar spikes are pointed right at someone's eyes, someone very near to your heart...

dammmmmmmit, someone beat me to it already. There goes my million dollar idea hahaha
They have some pretty nice looking stuff on that site.

karfer67, I don't know if I need any more dangerous ideas But I sure do like your thinking!

hey deorman, you think next I should build a battering ram to take out blink's giant wooden bumper? (that cracked me up) viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15797&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=60.

With a carved ram's head like in the movies, or a boxing glove.

Although it was cloudy, rainy, and crappy at my house all morning, we decided to take a chance and head to the beach. A quick 20 minute drive to the beach turned out to be just what the doctor ordered...hot and sunny! The first test ride on the boardwalk was pretty fantastic, and the margaritas were even better Only had a slight problem with the bike when the rear wheel shifted and started rubbing on the frame. Had to stop and kick it back in place a few times and of course I missed my target and kicked the pedals once and ended up with a nice little hole in my leg. Luckily this was after a few pitchers of good stuff to deaden the pain



Part of today's crew (the better part )




Weird how the last-minute, unplanned trips always turn out great...had about 10 people show up.

The bike is mostly finished for now. I've still got a couple tricks up my sleeve and hopefully will be able to finish it up when I'm on vacation in a couple weeks. Hopefully!!!
